Investigating the role of nuclear myosin I in the low serum induced repositioning of chromosome 10 in interphase nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.The nucleus of mammalian cells has been proven to be highly organised.

Cytoneme delivery of Sonic Hedgehog from ligand-producing cells requires Myosin 10 and a Dispatched-BOC/CDON co-receptor complex

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Morphogens function in concentration-dependent manners to instruct cell fate during tissue patterning. The cytoneme morphogen transport model posits that specialized filopodia extend between morphogen-sending and responding cells to ensure that ...

Motor-driven advection competes with crowding to drive spatiotemporally heterogeneous transport in cytoskeleton composites

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2022
The cytoskeleton–a composite network of biopolymers, molecular motors, and associated binding proteins–is a paradigmatic example of active matter. Particle transport through the cytoskeleton can range from anomalous and heterogeneous subdiffusion to ...

The spreading of myosin [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1935
Whereas most proteins so far studied show spreading at their isoelectric points or on strongly acid solutions (we have examined more or less thoroughly ovalbumin, zein, gliadin, insulin, pepsin, trypsin, ovoglobulin, ovomucoid, caseinogen, globin and haemoglobin) some proteins do not spread, when tested by our usual technique. Gelatin is a bad spreader

Contiguity and Structural Impacts of a Non-Myosin Protein within the Thick Filament Myosin Layers

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Myosin dimers arranged in layers and interspersed with non-myosin densities have been described by cryo-EM 3D reconstruction of the thick filament in Lethocerus at 5.5 Å resolution.

Multiplying myosins [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
Myosins are a diverse family of actin-based molecular motors that appeared early in eukaryotic evolution. Just how early, and how diverse, has begun to become clear from work that appears in this issue of PNAS (1) and recent work from Nature (2). For most of its existence, the term “myosin” applied only to the actin-activated ATPase that forms the ...

Secondary Structure of the Novel Myosin Binding Domain WYR and Implications within Myosin Structure

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Structural changes in the myosin II light meromyosin (LMM) that influence thick filament mechanical properties and muscle function are modulated by LMM-binding proteins.

Sarcomeric Gene Variants and Their Role with Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Background of Coronary Artery Disease

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death in developing countries, generally originating as coronary artery disease (CAD) or hypertension. In later stages, many CAD patients develop left ventricle dysfunction (LVD).

Protein phosphatase 1 activity controls a balance between collective and single cell modes of migration

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Collective cell migration is central to many developmental and pathological processes. However, the mechanisms that keep cell collectives together and coordinate movement of multiple cells are poorly understood. Using the Drosophila border cell migration

Expression of non-muscle type myosin heavy polypeptide 9 (MYH9) in mammalian cells

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
Myosin is a functional protein associated with cellular movement, cell division, muscle contraction and other functions. Members of the myosin super-family are distinguished from the myosin heavy chains that play crucial roles in cellular processes ...
